Sunny Sunrise Intro

Template credit.

[Character info is under the cut. Everything here is written as if it was written by the people running the website.]

Sunny Sunrise is an unused Welcome Home character concept, whose development was cut short before it was ever finalized.

But, luckily, there's plenty of restored concept artwork and notes from which we can deduce what she would've been like.

Apparently, there once existed the idea of a segment in the show which would have been aired exclusively during the morning.

The segment in question was going to be called "Way To Start The Day!" and it was where Sunny's character would come into play.

During the segment, she would teach children about the importance of eating a healthy breakfast each day, having proper morning hygiene and not sleeping in too often.

More often than not she would've also invited the other characters to accompany her on the way, and that's where it would get fun.

You see, Sunny was supposed to be an antagonistic character. A comedic one, but an antagonist nevertheless.

Her main enemy being Sally Starlet, someone who, as a gag, says that she doesn't know who Sunny is, despite the fact that they've known each other since childhood.

Sally was always seen as the brightest star in the sky, meanwhile Sunny was seen as the second brightest. (The sun is a star as well, but almost nobody in this universe believes Sunny when she argues this, as a gag.)

So, due to this Sunny swore that she'll get her revenge on Sally one day. In every segment of hers she'd try to ruin Sally's life throughout some elaborate plan, either with Sally directly or through one of the other neighbors.

One of the notes states that "She doesn't live in the main neighborhood, but instead her house is located in the one next to it." which confirms that she wasn't supposed to be part of the neighborhood, but instead a minor character that would appear occasionally.

The plans would always be rather silly and not 'life ruinningly' evil, they would rather just cause minor inconveniences. The plan would basically be a fail each time even if it goes according to plan because they don't cause that much damage anyways. Despite this, Sunny would keep trying.

Personality wise, Sunny is a loud, energetic, confident and a mischievous person who is, besides her 'evil shenanigans' a kind girl at heart. She's quite sporty and would show some easy morning exercises during her segment. She'd be very expressive with her gestures and poses, anything to get her words across as dramatically and fantastically as possible.

Even concept artwork for her puppet had been made and it was going to be a live-hand puppet that requires an additional hand to move the head, since it would have been quite large. One unique feature that this puppet was supposed to have, is that her shoes could turn into actual mini roller skates with the press of a button, which would've also been a thing during her segment, as she would kick the heels of her feet and the wheels would show up. This was most likely done as to emphasize that she's quick on her feet, according to a note. But, unfortunately, the puppet was never made.

Even though Sunny's s character is nowhere near present in the universe of Welcome Home, we can still find reused remains of her character in the characters we do have.

The main example of course being Sally Starlet, whom Sunny is most likely a beta version of. While the design and personality attributes are obvious, Sunny also shares Sally's talents and love for singing and dancing, which Sally is supposedly better at than Sunny.

Also, Sunny's loves and interests for knitting, sewing, cooking and baking were given to Poppy instead. Sunny's name was most likely taken from a bird concept character who was also named Sunny.

The direct reason for the erasure of Sunny Sunrise as a character is currently unknown, and even though we do have some theories about it, we'll wait until we gain more information about the overall production of the show until we try to piece it together any further.
